The Pirates of the Caribbean or Caribbean

trends titles are a meme in and of themselves. Yes, they are. Hey, let's tell the people what's trending, shall we, Miles? Let's tell the people what's trending. Let's give them something to trend about.

Anybody? Yeah. Okay. American Murder is trending. I'll buy that for a dollar. Oh, man. Did you see that trailer? Yeah.

Is that on Netflix? It's a Netflix show. Chris Watts, I think, is the name of the guy who murdered his entire family. It's just heavy. Yeah. his entire family uh it's just heavy yeah like it's wild because it's combining like but like footage of investigators coupled with like when they're straight up investigating them or not just like the interrogation room like stuff we're used to seeing uh it's just it's super dark but you know like the thing you always point up about how the weimar republic loves true crime yeah and why do people

love this more than anything yeah number one show on uh apple podcast right now a true crime show from us from our very network the daily zeitgeist yeah from the daily you're welcome uh no from our studio shout out to man gas oh shit all right man um yeah but uh but we do love we do love a true crime this one kind of got got me because it like it has the um ring camera footage of her like walking up to her front door and it's like and that was the last she was ever seen you know oh boy oh boy um nope nope don't need that it's funny voices i like to make funny voices when describing a triple homicide triple homicide of an american family uh ronaldo messi is trending uh yep tell me why have you heard of this guy ronaldo messi oh yeah he's apparently real good at Soxer.

You know, the Champions League draw went down. I wouldn't know anything about that as an Arsenal fan. You know, shut out the Europa League. But, yes, the group stage, this is where they draw all the teams out of the bucket. So, like, the World Cup, you get to see who's in each group. And Juventus is in the same group as Barcelona. So, they are going to be facing off with each other. You know, a little revival from the old, because back in the day,

when they both played for Real Madrid and Barcelona respectively, you know, you wouldn't draw two teams from the same country in a group. So you would never see them play each other in the group stage. It would always be like in the later rounds. Now that he's in Italy, where Cristiano is,

they are drawn together. So yeah, that's something. People are going to like that. And Messi, you know, he had a heck of a summer for those people who didn't keep up. You know, he's like the god of Barcelona. And he almost blew the whole damn thing up to get what he needed to feel respected. He wanted to leave because they weren't putting the right team around him, or they weren't giving him enough money.

And, boy, he hated the chairman. It was just a lot where the coach was a mess, the team was a mess. They hadn't really properly replaced Neymar when he left to go to PSG. And in came Dembele, Griezmann, a lot of people who just couldn't quite fill the shoes. Coutinho.

Is soccer progressive? Like, is it a thing where, like, this generation of stars is, like, when you look at old tape of old, like, soccer, it's like they're way better. You can tell they're way better? Oh, yeah. Messi, especially. I mean, he's next level. They all play. The amount of players now who just have so much skill and power and pace. Like, you'd kind of be like you're just either a speed demon.

Maybe you dribble up the wing. Maybe you're more of a free kick specialist. Maybe you like to blast it from outside the box. Now, like, people just have such complete skill sets. Yeah. It's like every sport. It's like bigs who can shoot threes now. You know, like Anthony Davis.

He can match up with a guard up top and then, you know what? He'll punish you down low. You know what? I was going to talk about it at the end. Let's just go right now, man. You're a Lakers fan. Let's do it. Let's do it. Up 1-0. In a route.

In a... I think Josiah summed it up when he retweeted the gif from White Men Can't Jump when the two guys were like, it's too easy. Shit is too easy as LeBron and AD. I mean, granted, it's game one. It's game one. It's game one. But the three best players of the Heat got injured in game one, which was a bad way for them to start. I will say this. I think most Laker fans, regardless, you want to play a full-strength opponent, especially with the way Jimmy Butler's been playing.

I don't want him to be out. I want a good series. I don't want to cake walk. I would like some challenge, but at the end of the day, you know, I'm just really tired of the narrative. Keep switching up of every time. Cause people just, I get it. People fucking hate the Lakers because it's in LA we're in LA. We we they think it's just because of like hollywood and all this other shit like you know the city you know the great weather that's what gets people out there like we also have actual gravitational pull as a franchise and we also have people thinking a little bit differently in the way we're playing a great we're just playing great and this idea that like we just got lucky with these two people i think is a total disservice

to like the people we signed the kind of basketball we're playing and we're doing it very methodically very intentionally and i really enjoy that about that and i really enjoy that about this coach too you know what i mean yeah yeah uh lebron is just next level i mean the the thing like people always i i know we've been talking about this and this is not new but the thing that people always, I know we've been talking about this and this is not new, but the thing that people always like use as a detraction on him is like, he just goes and like starts a new team and leaves the team whenever that's hard to start a new team to like pick the right person to come join you to organize and put pressure on the front office to make the right trades, to build the right team around you,

to have the right coach. That shit is hard, and he's now done it with three separate teams. Well, let me check my notes really quick. I mean, if it's that easy, then Kawhi Leonard should have... That is the thing. You hate to see it, folks. That man done...

I'm sorry, Clippers fans, what that man did to y'all. He really did something to y'all. I mean, we'll see. He might get it on the second try, the second go-round after they. Yeah, I'm not to say to write him off, but when you look at those draft picks that went to get Paul George there, just for Paul George to be playoff P or whatever the fuck he was calling himself, and then to absolutely just.

Now the Thunder look good, man. The thunder are going to be good for a while. Yeah. And welcome to our new show. Y'all, you're on the new Barstool Sports Network. The new Barstool Sports. You know what I mean? The new... Non-toxic. What's like a high-minded... Yeah, I don't know. The standing desk sports.

Come on, y'all. Don't be so sedentary. Let's think a little bit about our futures. Starbucks recliner sports. Come on, y'all. Don't be so sedentary. Let's think a little bit about our futures. Starbucks recliner sports. All right. And then we had an interesting talk about some just out of body performances. Kaylee McEnany at the White House press briefing was just fielding the questions like she was a shortstop. Just pow, pow.

Oh, my God, yeah. Backhanded them. Let's talk where is the river. Hashtag where is the river. Yeah, trending. You know, the president at the debate is like, I don't know if you heard, there are a bunch of ballots just tossed into a river. They found a bunch of ballots. They found a bunch of whatever, and people are like, what the fuck is like if he i don't know if you heard there are a bunch of ballots just tossed into a river they found a bunch of ballots they found a bunch of whatever and people like what

the fuck is this dude talking about cut to a press conference where kaylee mcainany has the job of selling her soul to try and pretend that whatever the president said is true or makes sense and so was asked very specifically the president mentioned this river where is this river kaylee can you please tell me specifically because I'm a reporter and affiliates are asking me, what was the president talking about? If speaking accurately, she gets the way she starts squirming and trying to spin move out of it. She treats him like he's being unreasonable for asking where is the river. You're missing the forest for the trees here

and it starts out as wisconsin then it's pennsylvania and then there's no river and there's a ditch there's a dick but no no but kaylee where's the river right tell me the river name that's all i need so i can report this like you guys really aren't curious about this are you he's like i'm very curious i'm so curious about where is that river no, no. And I would love to see a little more journalistic curiosity. And I just love how he's just like, so there's no river. Uh-huh. Okay. I mean, that's where they're at.

They're not quite going full dictator where they can't just be like, you shut up. Next question. She still has to pretend like there's some kind of you know uh sense of decency going on when really she just did like the really long-winded equivalent of like yo he's lying but what the fuck you gonna do about it bro right that's all it was it'll be interesting to see uh if not nothing will be interesting it'll be depressing if it wins. But how much further can the disrespect for the media and just not giving a shit about the media descend? It seems like it's at a point where they'd probably just

probably make a free press illegal. Uh, cause I don't know. Yeah. The way things are going, it'll, it'll start off like very using very like weak ass legal arguments about how like it's all like libel and dah, dah,

dah, dah, dah. Right. And you just scare people into not saying anything critical. I mean, that's what it looks like in other countries. Yeah.

And then, um, another annoying question from uh the media somebody was like uh you said that um amy coney barrett is a road scholar uh oh my god she was like that's what it says here he's like actually it says she went to rhodes college and she was like okay fine yeah she went to rhodes College whatever like she was uh like you're gonna you know parse every word of what I say right yes okay fine she went to a college no one's ever heard of instead of being like one of the smartest people in the country fine uh like

does that make you happy I mean it's it Yeah. I mean, it's like for the heaviest postgraduate fucking scholarship you can get. Right. To be like, no. Oh, my bad. I don't drive a BMW. I said, I took a BM in that Volkswagen over there. Like, what are you talking about? This shit is not the same.

BMW. Yeah. Oh, what did you hear? no no no no not not named after the horrific diamond master cecil rhodes oh man um there's a lot of like people who are just historical uh villain like just monsters who like the nobel prize is like wasn't that based on one of those prizes based on a guy who like made all made his fortune selling dynamite inventing dynamite and like felt bad about it that's why yeah they had to he had to circle back because it's like y'all i didn't mean for y'all to be doing all that with the dynamite that was more for like clearing the

land out but y'all are making it into little tennis balls you can blow each other up with? No, no, no. Please, let's do something right, I think. And I could be just completely reducing that down to its most barbaric form. But I believe that's what it was. Yeah.

And finally, speaking of historical figures, Minecraft Steve is trending. Oh, my God. Thank the Lord. Woo! Big news in the world of uh playstation switch uh the you know yeah why i mean you tell them because i'm too uh involved in this well what is well yeah that that would be a total actual i'm glad you did that you recused yourself from this story because

it's a total conflict of interest in that your interests do not intersect with this and that's a conflict for you internally yes uh this yeah this is a new character for smash uh i don't know this motherfucker look boxy as shit cool shout out to minecraft steve uh you know i believe he's a man of color so i hope that i hope that's the case and not just a dude with a dodgy tan steve and alex from minecraft nobody's talking about alex but he's there too uh nobody been talking about alex jack she yeah that's what i meant she alex is a she uh and alex blocky as hell they're every every what you know i guess that's a fun character to play with do they ever like port a character over from a different game and then like the game uh the

character just like has no skills and just gets like this shit kicked out of them oh like like sonic comes in he's like welcome to nintendo bitch they do not look like they would last a single fist fight like that would be funny if they just had no strength speed or and then like when you hit them they fell apart like legos um oh i like that i think that was more of that more of that uh yeah i mean i always play with uh cloud you know everybody knows that i'll fuck with cloud maybe pikachu okay okay i don't i just know you can play as cloud that was the only reason i entertained playing that game because that was a character from final fantasy 7 that i really loved and i was like oh shit okay they put cloud in here okay i'm here
